This is a rescue dog! We found Wiley at a no-kill animal shelter called the Hillside SPCA in Pottsville, PA. He joined our family in July of 2011. Rescue dogs make the best pets; I would know. My family has had pound puppies my whole life and I am a better person because of it. This is a place we can share our stories and spread the word: get a rescue pet!

About Me

I've been in love with animals my whole life. Unfortunately, my overly sentimental personality precluded pursuing a career with them, because I get way too attached. Instead of becoming a zoologist or veterinarian, my career involves working with a different subspecies of animal: teenagers. I teach high school. Both career paths require patience and compassion, but the teenagers laugh at my jokes and feign interest in Mythology, so I do enjoy that quite a bit.
